16 pesos roller coaster ride

Saturday night.

Jam, Weng, Masol & I were on our way to Jam's house for a sort-of sleepover from Mall of Asia after watching the pyrolympics. Since there were lots of people and we couldn't get a decent ride from the mall itself, we decided to take the ordinary bus passing EDSA, and crap, were we so wrong!

As the bus was passing by EDSA, it's speed started to increase. It not only overtook cars, vans, trucks and buses but it also made weird and immediate turns such that I felt like I was flying and I could easily get off the bus by going out of the window. I could clearly see how close we were to the walls of the underpass as the driver made his turns. All our hands were holding onto the seats in front of me. If I was a loud person, I could have screamed my lungs out.

What was even more funny was that other passengers on the bus were staring at us, as if we were so peculiar. They were just sitting there, as in nothing was happening.

As we were getting off the bus, one of the guys there asked, "Did you enjoy the ride?"

Crap. I am never going to ride the ordinary bus at night again.
